As the years passed by, the memory of the incident in the Bloodhill forest became fainter, until it almost felt like a distant dream. The boys had grown up and grown apart, each following their own paths as they entered their 30s. They rarely saw each other now, but the bond they had still bound them together, even if they didn't realize it. Despite the distance, they had kept in touch, checking in on each other occasionally through calls and social media, and catching up on each other's lives with every passing year.
But the curse that had befallen the boys all those years ago had left a lingering dark shadow over their lives. It seemed as though they were constantly plagued by small injuries and health problems, no matter how hard they tried to avoid them. Sometimes these issues were just minor annoyances - a twisted ankle here, a headache there - but other times, the symptoms were more severe.
The eight boys had all left their small hometown seven years ago, moving to a different state in search of a fresh start and a new life. They had gone their separate ways, vowing to keep in touch, but the distance had strained their connections. Despite this, they still remembered each other fondly, and sometimes, when things got tough, they would find themselves thinking of their old friends and the strange November night that had spent together in the Bloodhill forest.
Virat, Rohit, and Hardik had all followed in their fathers' footsteps and taken over their respective businesses. Their hard work and dedication had paid off, and they were now successful entrepreneurs running their own companies. On the other hand, Shubman, Tilak, and Abhishek had all landed good jobs in big companies, earning good salaries and enjoying their lives. In contrast, Ishan and Mayank had chosen a different path, working for an NGO that had branches across different cities and states all over the country. Despite their busy schedules, they still managed to keep in touch with their old friends and catch up on each other's lives.
As time went on, Abhishek and Mayank's relationship continued to blossom. They had been living together for some time now, and their love for each other had only grown stronger over the years. They supported and complemented each other perfectly, and their bond was stronger than ever.
Meanwhile, Shubman and Ishan had also taken a big step in their relationship. After some time together, they had decided to move in with each other, taking their love to a new level. As they shared a living space, they found themselves falling even harder for each other, their love growing deeper with each day that passed.
But It had been a month since Shubman had been transferred to his and his friends' old hometown. Ishan couldn't bear to be separated from Shubman, so he had also decided to move with him to their old hometown where they had grown up together. As they returned to the place where they had spent their childhood, the memories of the Bloodhill forest and the curse that had haunted them all those years ago began to come back to them. Would the curse follow them still?
The return to their childhood hometown was a risky move for Shubman and Ishan, as they were bringing themselves back to the place where the curse had originated. They wondered if the curse would react to their presence, and if it would grow stronger now that they were closer to its source. They couldn't help but question if they had made a mistake by moving together, as it seemed like they were bringing the danger of the curse back into their lives.
Both had been living together in their hometown for a month now, and in that time, they had experienced the most heated arguments and disagreements they had ever had. It was as if they were constantly on edge, and even the smallest things would set them off. They couldn't quite pin down the reason for their increased tension, but they suspected that it might be due to being back in their hometown, where the memories and emotions of their past were still raw and potent.
Despite the frequent arguments and disagreements they had been experiencing, Shubman and Ishan had managed to find some moments of peace and comfort in each other's company. They both loved each other deeply, so they made the decision to continue living together in their cozy apartment. They hoped that with time and patience, they could work through their issues and find a way to live harmoniously together.
But
How long will this ongoing tension between Shubman and Ishan last?
What if they are unable to control the growing influence of the evil eye?
What if the curse pulls them back in, forcing them to confront their past demons once again?
Will fate allow them to find happiness, or will they forever be haunted by the events of that fateful November in the Bloodhill forest?
Will they be able to overcome this challenge and live happily together, or will the curse of the Bloodhill forest ultimately tear them apart?
